Baldwin 6756050 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 6756 turn piece fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
Yes. The 6756 turn piece with backplate covers doors from 1.37 inches up to 3 inches thick, so a 2-1/4 inch door is well inside its range. Note the product copy also says extended turn knobs in this style exist for doors thicker than 2.25 inches, so on unusually thick slabs confirm which spindle length you are ordering.
2) Is the Baldwin 6756 a lock, or just the interior thumbturn?
It is the interior turn piece and its backplate, not a complete lock. The 6756 is the egg shape knob you turn from the inside to throw the bolt, mounted on a backplate. It is not keyed, so there is no cylinder and no exterior key access with it. You still need the mortise lock, tubular deadbolt, or sectional trim it drives.
3) What locks does the Baldwin 6756 turn piece work with?
Baldwin states the 6756 works with interior and exterior mortise locks, tubular bolts, and sectional trim. That covers the common cases: the inside turn on a mortise lock body, and the thumbturn side of a tubular deadbolt. The backset is adjustable, so it is not tied to a single bolt backset.
4) How far does the Baldwin 6756 turn knob stick out from the door?
Projection is 0.88 inches, with a 2.25 inch knob diameter. That matters where the door swings tight to a return wall, a cabinet, or an adjacent casing, and on narrow entry vestibules where a deep thumbturn catches a coat. Under an inch of projection keeps it clear of most trim.
5) Can I get the Baldwin 6756 turn piece to match the rest of my door hardware finish?
Fourteen finishes are offered: 003 Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass, 050 Satin Brass and Black, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass and Brown, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome, and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. Order by the Baldwin finish number, not the name, since several brass tones read similarly on screen.
6) Is the Baldwin 6756 turn piece suitable for a commercial building or apartment turnover?
Baldwin rates the 6756 as residential hardware. For single-family, condo, and high-end multi-family interiors it is the right class of trim. For a commercial opening carrying heavy public traffic, or anywhere a graded commercial lockset is specified on the drawing, specify a commercial-grade thumbturn instead.
7) What is the difference between the egg shape Baldwin 6756 turn knob and a flat lever thumbturn?
The 6756 is a rounded egg shape knob about 2.25 inches across, gripped and rotated in the whole hand. A flat blade or lever thumbturn is pinched between two fingers. The egg knob gives more purchase on a stiff mortise bolt or a slightly bound door, which is why it holds up on heavier entry doors; a flat turn sits closer to the face and suits tight jamb clearances better than a 0.88 inch projection.
8) Does the Baldwin 6756 turn piece have a handing, or does it work on left and right hand doors?
A turn piece has no handing. The 6756 is a rotating knob on a backplate with an adjustable backset, so the same part goes on a left or right hand door. Orientation is set by how the lock or bolt is prepped, not by the trim.
